Overview

Adrian Rees is affiliated with Newcastle University in the United Kingdom and has a research focus in the field of Neuroscience, specifically within Cognitive Neuroscience, Sensory Systems, Neurology, Experimental and Cognitive Psychology, and Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience. Their work predominantly addresses topics related to hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, genetics, hearing loss and rehabilitation, neural dynamics and brain function, vestibular and auditory disorders, multisensory perception and integration, photoreceptor and optogenetics research, and noise effects and management.

The scientist's recent publications showcase investigations into auditory processing and neural mechanisms related to hearing and tinnitus. Notable recent papers include:

  • Motor, somatosensory, and executive cortical areas elicit monosynaptic and polysynaptic neuronal activity in the auditory midbrain (2024, Hearing Research)
  • Differences Between Self-Reported and Objectively Measured Hearing Loss at Age 61-63 Years: The Newcastle Thousand Families Birth Cohort (2023, American Journal of Audiology)
  • Nitric oxide signalling underlies salicylate-induced increases in neuronal firing in the inferior colliculus: A central mechanism of tinnitus? (2022, Hearing Research)
  • Nitric oxide signalling underlies salicylate-induced increases in neuronal firing in the inferior colliculus: a central mechanism of tinnitus? (2021, bioRxiv [Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory])
  • Motor, somatosensory, and executive cortical areas directly modulate firing activity in the auditory midbrain (2023, bioRxiv [Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory])

The majority of Adrian Rees's publications have appeared in venues such as Hearing Research, the American Journal of Audiology, and bioRxiv, reflecting a focus on auditory neuroscience and clinical audiology.
